Salesbury this week!
Blogs PageGood morning Mars Class!
here are the lessons for today:
Maths warm up. Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 8 times table. Find something to count, like pasta, paperclips, monkey nuts or marbles. You will need 96 of them to lay out 12 columns of 8. See photo below. Once you have 12 columns of 8 objects, count in eights, forwards and backwards, touching one column each time you count on. Practise again, starting from different multiples of 8.
Maths main. Adding and subtracting numbers with up to three digits. Look at the bar model in the example first of all. Read and understand the different number sentences that can been made. Then add and subtract to find the missing numbers in the other bar models. See PowerPoint below.
English. Look back at The Stone Trolls. First analyse the underlying plot pattern. See page 16 of the Talk for Writing booklet. Then think about writing a new version of this story, use ideas on pages 17 and 18 of the booklet. Now plan your own story using the planner on page 19 of the booklet. Remember, it has to be a Warning Story!
